We kindly ask the authors to consider the publication type-specific requirements, as well, which are fixed by contracts or by the editorial board at one of the book series or journals published by the European Integration Studies.
THE GENERAL RULES ARE THE FOLLOWING
The Editorial Board decides whether to begin the publication process or not considering the submitted manuscript.
The European Integration Studies carries out its academic publishing activities for the benefit of the public and the academic society. It undertakes the publication costs and does not charge the author any cost (publishing or processing fees).
During the process of reviewing, the editor communicates with the author(s) via e-mail. The author is informed about the result of the process of peer-reviewing by the editor who conducted the general editorial review. Correspondence related to peer review and peer reviewers’ reviews is archived by the Editor-in-chief. Peer reviews are not published.
See our guidance about the peer review process: Information About Peer Review Processes
The Editorial Board invites the authors to make a declaration that they have not recommended their studies for publication to other publishers and their studies have not been published yet when submitting it to Miskolc University Press. Miskolc University Press does not publish any manuscript that does not meet this requirement.
The Editor-in-chief of a Book Series or a Journal or the Editorial Board gives information to the authors about the opinions of peer-reviewers (in an anonymized way). The editor-in-chief of the journal or the book series (in consultation with the editor(s) of the volume) decides whether a manuscript can be published in the journal or volume. The Editor-in-chief and the Publisher (in charge) hold the right to veto the editor’s decision.
The Editor-in-chief informs the authors of the acceptance or the refusal of the studies. After the acceptance of the study, the Editor-in-chief contacts the authors for the purpose of transferring the copyright to Miskolc University Press. The Hungarian Law is applicable to licensing agreements and contracts.
The overall peer-review process generally takes 2-3 months. In the event of delays, authors should be informed of the reason for the delay and given the opportunity to withdraw their manuscript if they wish.
The Authors shall comply with the Publication Ethics. Following the COPE (https://publicationethics.org/guidance) guidances and best practices, the Editorial Board carries out processes for handling both pre-publication and post-publication critiques. In any case of right infringement, plagiarism or defamation, etc., depending on the possible means to resolve the problem, Editorial Board refuses the manuscript or calls the Author to modify it, interrupts the publishing process or retracts the published manuscript.
Decisions may be guided by the editorial board of the journal or book series and by guidelines set by the Editorial Board, and are limited by existing laws on defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor is permitted to run computer software to filter out plagiarism.
If necessary, the linguistic proofreader may correct some paragraphs of the manuscript or make recommendations for the revision of the text. Hence, the linguistic proofreader does not correct large portions of the text. If the linguistic proofreader does not pass the manuscript for publication for the third time, this results in its final rejection.
Declaration of exclusivity. The editorial team invites the authors, when they submit their manuscripts, to make a declaration that they have not recommended their manuscripts for publication to other publishers and which have not been published previously. The Journal does not publish any manuscript that does not meet this requirement.
